. whereas the majority of teenage kgsers i encounter suffer from hyperhubris amongst a plethora of other sociopathological handicaps, mathematically, it ought not to matter a whit to a bot's own self-esteem when the witless up themselves against it because the kgs ranking algorithm surely ought to either take rank aberrations into account or ignore delusionally-handicapped-game results because they don't just do it against you, they do it against everybody.
but in any case, how reliable is poking a stick around in the dark anyway? PS Whereas it is true that a camel is a horse that was designed by a committee, why on earth don't you guys stop trying to get one over each other in the kgs playground and start working as a team? For example, DCNNigo plays a very respectable opening but falls apart in the yose, so a different technique is required for that phase of the game. If you put your heads together, you might come up with a multibot that arguably could be considered smart instead of just lucky. You should be able to hook up across internet so the many heads don't all have to be in the same room. Yonks ago Oliver Selfridge [1] proposed just such an architecture for an intracranial artificial intelligence - but you could go intercranial. Now that would be an IT worth checking out.
